Where is the Los Angeles team?
O'Day is doing fine work at seconC
for the Atlas.
The Pioneers are batting well ant
with such pitcher as Lorrigan vii
land on top.
Dooly, of the Pennsylvania League
is at present in Los Angeles and is
fine pitcher.
Shaw, the wizard, late OF the Wash
ington's, finished the season with the
Portlands.
Arlu Latham, of the Browns, is tired
of st. Louis and will play with an
other team next season.
Wander Abe is on the hunt for a
new third baseman.
Crane pitcher and Slattery catcher
of the Toronto's, are in good demand
for next season, Baltimore, Brook
lyn and New York have made large
offers for them.
Van Haltern, considering the poor
support given him this season has
done splendid work, his pitching,
fielding, batting, base running being
as fine as any of the new leaguers.
Arson says he will lead them all next
season.
Detroit has the call for the Worlds
championship and are playing better
game than they did in the League
games.
st. Louis are not playing their
strong game, but when they do start
tits good by Detroit. &.
Slattery, of the Toronto's; Sutton,
Wise. Bostons; Hartnett, Lowell,
and Hanlan, Detroit; Manager Burn
ham, OF the Haverhills, are coming to
Los Angeles this winter.
Many changes will take place before
next season in the league and associ-
alton as each team will put out great
deal of money for their choice. The
champions will retain their present
team and also the Philadelphias, but
they have secured a good second base
man in Higgins of this seasons Low
ellis, the player who Boston relieved
to Lowell early in the season. He is
a fine fielder and batter, otherwise
the Phillies will remain same as this
season. New York will also make a
change. Hatfield OF the Portlands
will cover Sd base, and Merrill of the
Boston's I'd base. Tieman will play
left field as Gillespie is gone and a
new right fielder is expected to fill
Dorgan's place.
Chicago will make another big
change this season. Clarkson and
Pheffer are going to Boston and Burns
to Baltimore. So new faces will be
found in their places next season. An
son says he will try Radbourne 80 an
exchange may be looked for. Van
Haltern will surely be Chicago's back
bone next year. Boston is still on the
hunt with lots Of money, and
Solar says he wants the
following team for next year: Tate
and Kelly, catchers; Clarkson and
Madden pitchers; Morril, Pleffar,
Nash and Wise, for in-feld; Harm
ing, Johnston and Thompson, of De-
troit, for out-field; Wheeler and Con-
way, subs.
Steinger, Sutton, Daily, Roybouhn,
Burdock, will play in different pos
lures next season. Pittsburg will
also have new faces next season and
a new manager in Dalrpmple, and
will be found nearer the lead next
season. Washington will have a new
manager and new infield, retaining
only O'Brien of this years team, and
Carroll and Hines OF the out-field and
Whitney and Mack as battery. The
remaining PLAYERS will be selected
from the young blood.
Indianapolis will stay in the field
and strengthen the outfield and Sc
cure stronger batteries for next sea-
son. This has been their weakest
point, 80 the clubs of the league, to all
appearances, will be more evenly
matched next season than ever before,
and a closer battle may be looked for.
The American Association will also
make many changes. st. Louis is 60
ing to lose several OF her best players,
and will find it hard next season to
held her own. Cincinnati will be
stronger and.it would not be surprising
if the pennant went there next season.
Louisville will have a new first base
man and right fielder, and Baltimore
will be to the front, SO st. Louis will
have to look out for her laurels.
The Athletics will have very few
changes. Brooklyn will have almost
a new team if IN oney can get them
as this years team was great disap-
pointment to such a ball town as
Brooklyn.
The Metropolitans and Gle velands
will be stronger next season and sur
prise the teams which this season
moved them down so easily. Each
team will put its money out for a
strong club as the percentage plan
will allow the weaker cities to brace
up, and next season may be looked
for as the greatest base ball year.
